Mimecast Aware vs. Symantec Data Loss Prevention

Aware is Mimecast's governance and compliance solution for collaboration platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. It gives IT, security, legal, and compliance teams full visibility into collaboration data in one place, plus custom detection rules that catch sensitive data sharing and policy violations as they happen. When something gets flagged, Aware surfaces the full context, surrounding messages, files, and edits, so teams understand intent fast, with AI-powered summaries to speed up investigations.

Symantec’s Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution discovers, monitors, and protects sensitive data wherever it goes – across cloud apps, endpoints, networks and data centers. With DLP, businesses are able to keep their data safe from accidental, negligent and malicious data loss by company insiders.
